Please watch the Deadline White House segment posted above. I am now not worried about the SCOTUS review of this case.

The appellant in this case is claiming that the relevant statue only applies if you destroyed or mutilated a document and there were no documents involved by this rioter merely attacked Congress. According to Tim Healy (the J6 Committee lead investigator) there are a number of documents involved in TFG's case including the fake elector certifications and the attempted letters to states to hold special sessions. In addition, there are two separate indictments that are not based on the federal law in question and so TFG's case will go forward. This review by the SCOTUS should not affect the charges against TFG
